Episode-433- Setting Up A Bug Out Location [ 1:05:23 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

Based on the response from yesterday I am going to do a show today on setting up a BOL (bug out location).  This should be a good show and will differ from previous shows on the subject as I will be discussing far more about what to do with the location than how to choose it and what to look for in its selection.  Though we will cover a bit of that to make the episode complete.

Join me today as we discuss…

  • What is a bug out location and what is its purpose?
  • Why being to remote can back fire
  • The value of a line of sight neighbor
  • Interviewing neighbors before you buy
  • On remote land you have hide everything you can’t bring in with you
  • The one thing you never want at a BOL
  • Balancing the risks vs. the reward of neighbors
  • Wild life and wild plants
  • Permanent crops and blend them into the surroundings
  • The advantages of underground structures
  • The steel container (the good, bad and ugly)
  • Water on property is golden (even seasonal)
  • The RV and the Storage Facility not ideal but damn good
  • Guns, ammo, trapping gear and fishing equipment
  • Seeds, gardening supplies and fertilizer
  • Go with long term storage food for everything short of a few weeks
  • All in all I prefer a very small community to a isolated retreat
